He surrounds himself with a team of hopefuls and complains a lot. You can only be "inspiring" for so long. Dave Jones had to manage Chopra and Bothroyd. At their megalomaniac worst. I think he did a great job. He and that team had they stayed together could have at least formed some kind of WBA/Norwich legacy. With Tan's money maybe we would have become and stayed an EPL team. We lost a Cup Final, we lost a Playoff final. But at least we got to them. If you were to make a highlight video of City over the last 40 years, Dave Jones' teams would dominate.
Warnock got us promoted in a very short space of time

There is absolutely no doubt that Warnock is a great man manager and motivator

Dave Jones had plenty of wonga behind him and was paid well but failed to get us up

We had by our standards a good side but under Jones we failed to deliver
